"Although flowers are a traditional gift, they are much too predictable on Valentine's Day," Brandon Wade, founder and CEO of WhatsYourPrice.com, said in a statement. "Women appreciate an element of surprise, and by giving this kind of gift, men risk appearing unthoughtful and unimaginative."

Only seven states got it right: Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Vermont and West Virginia. In those states, the majority of women said they wanted what the majority of men said they were planning to give.

Tip to guys: In no state did female respondents to this survey state a preference for chocolates, stuffed animals or gift cards.
